Experience

I’ve been tutoring Primary and Secondary students for several years, helping with everything from catching up on classwork to building confidence in tricky subjects. I’ve worked with a wide range of learners — from Prep through Year 11 — including students with ADHD and ASD, and I always tailor my approach to suit each student’s pace and personality.

I’ve recently relocated to Melbourne and am now taking on new students for one-on-one tutoring (without the agency markup!). I focus on making learning feel calm, clear, and encouraging, especially for kids who find school stressful or overwhelming.

Qualifications

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary and Secondary), building on a strong academic background across English, Maths, and the sciences. In VCE, I completed English, Maths Methods, PE, Chemistry, and Biology, and later studied Health and Biology at university before moving into teaching.

I first began tutoring through an agency, where I received training and access to proven resources to help students learn effectively. These days, I specialise in English and Health/Biology for VCE students, as well as general literacy and confidence-building support for younger learners.
